Nature vs Nurture

Abstract

Each and every person on this planet is unique and different from the people that surround them in ways that the eyes can see physically and ways that are invisible to the eye. The DNA that courses throughout our bodies is the instruction manual that your body uses to create your unique features. The gene sequences each depict a trait that is either physically expressed (i.e. the color of your hair) or a trait that controls an internal function in your body (i.e. protein production). So, what is it that makes us all so unique compared to one another? The nature vs. nurture debate has been a long-argued debate that aims to pinpoint what exactly controls these variations in humans. On the nature side of the debate, it is argued that the genes in your body solely control your multiple traits, such as hair color. The nurture side of the debate argues that the environment in which one is raised has the greatest impact on the traits you obtain, such as skin color
